What your guests will love about your home

Maison Amandier (120m², 5 pers., 2 bedrooms) used to be a granary and is located in a cul-de-sac in Mosset. This ‘eagle nest’ like village with an impressive medieval Castle has the official status of being one of the ‘most beautiful villages of France’, which it indeed is. Mosset is a large village and therefore has its own restaurant and supermarket. Maison Amandier is a very sunny house (11 windows) with two bedrooms and offers from the balcony scenic views over the Castellane valley and the top of the Mont Canigou.
